Repost (with links) The DOGE scam is barking up the wrong tree

[Orangecat]

Which. of course, is a lie. But, feel free to prove your point, or just admit you enjoy pulling shit out of your ass while hoping no one will notice.

Are you unfamiliar with the history of the term "useful idiot"?
Probably because you are one.

A useful idiot or useful fool is a pejorative description of a person, suggesting that the person thinks they are fighting for a cause without fully comprehending the consequences of their actions, and who does not realize they are being manipulated by the cause's leaders or by other political players.<a href="Useful idiot - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a><a href="Useful idiot - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a> The term was often used during the Cold War in the Western bloc to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and psychological manipulation.<a href="Useful idiot - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a>

This statement has traditionally been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but this attribution is not supported by any evidence.

Correct. You're a useful idiot for the cause of Marxism. Unless you freely admit you support Marxism, that is.

A political thinker should be read for insight, rather than doctrine. Karl Marx had two valid insights. He was mistaken about everything else. First, the natural result of un or lightly regulated capitalism is to accumulate wealth and income at the top. Second, partly as a result of this, capitalist economies experience increasingly destructive economic downturns.

Marx was mistaken about everything else. His most glaring mistake was to assume that among working class people loyalties of class are stronger than loyalties of race, nation, and ethnicity. The writings of Marx explain the Stock Market Crash of 1929, and the resulting Great Depression. They do not explain the First World War, the development of Italian Fascism and German Nazism, and the fact that America's white working class is a Republican constituency.

Marx was also mistaken in seeing an inevitable progression from primitive communism, to slavery, to feudalism, to capitalism. The revival of slavery in the Americas should have instructed him that this is not true.

Dialectical materialism is mythology. It is a kind of secular deity.

I see no value in the writing of Vladimir Lenin at all. Karl Marx did not advocate the totalitarian methods used in his name during the twentieth century. He did inspire them, so he is not completely innocent.

How will you be celebrating Karl’s birthday this year?

Here is the real reason these war mongering liberals are upset by what DOGE is doing -

“It was ALL a lie. The real reason USAID was in Africa

Former African Union Ambassador to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao:

“They're using that open access, sounding humanitarian, to constantly destabilize governments”

“We need to understand the real reason why USAID is in Africa, and not just USAID, but other NGOs They are coming in claiming that they're introducing grassroots initiatives that are going to help the people, and so they use that as a way to go into the most remote parts of Africa. When you look at it on paper, it all looks really good, but they're actually wolf in sheep's clothing.”

“The American taxpayer needs to know the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID. A fraction is making it to the people”

“They're using that open access sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments. I can tell you right now, the majority of African leaders, and not just African leaders, but leaders in the developing world are celebrating the exit of USAID.

If you think about it, their sole purpose, for example, filling in the gaps in healthcare and education, where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved. Show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved?”

They laundered our money.”




These same dipshits who oppose DOGE are constantly pissing and moaning about “colonization” 300 years ago…… but they fully support imposing empire on Africa today.

Spending millions on education in other countries apparently isnt a “scam”.

Sticks & Stones, bro

But your problem is obvious.

Let me know when you are serious, because, if that sorry sack-of-shit caliber of your rebuttal portends more of the same, well, I can't take you seriously, not that you care, which, writ large, you don't.

I’m not here to be taken seriously by butthurt morons, kiddo.

Reagan’s philosophy was not trickle down. Get informed leftard.

It was neoliberalism, fuckwit, a distinction without significance.

Nobody is reading a long bloviating TDS diatribe especially from you.

Incompetent rebuttal

Yawn..

Orangecat demonstrates that a little knowledge is a bad thing. His knowledge consists of cliches he picked up off of the street.

Ah, the dreaded lowercase letter -- truly, civilization trembles. I suppose when the argument’s over your head, the only thing left is to police punctuation. Don’t worry, I’ll capitalize next time I need your approval to write a grocery list.

Indeed,I didn’t read any of his drivel either when he failed to mention how the Dems thanks to biden and his policys economically destroyed America,another leftist shill that hates America.

The US had the best post Covid economy in the world. Just watch what happens when the insane trump tariffs begin take their toll on the economy.
